1. Complete the Manifold P Span calibration.
2. Put #2 plugs in the manifold and the drive gas ports of the vent engine.
3. Push the ComWheel to show the next menu.
4. Select Stage 1 calibration.
5. After Pass, replace the manifold port plug with the calibration orifice.

7. You MUST do both stages for the calibration to be saved.
During calibration, a separate menu shows the counts and corresponding
flow at each step.
• If the outcome of both stages of the calibration is Pass, the new calibration

• If the outcome of either stage is Fail, the old calibration data is retained.
• The results of each stage of the calibration are saved to the Event Log.
Selecting Previous Menu before the calibration is done, aborts the calibration
